Subject: Swiss Air Traffic Control System Migrating To Windows NT
http://www.transoft.com/news/skyguide_announce.htm
Skyguide selects Transoft to migrate DG MV applications
"Skyguide selects Transoft to migrate mission critical DG MV
applications to Windows NT
February 19, 2003 - Transoft, a leader in enabling companies to evolve
new IT solutions from their existing applications, today announced a
migration project with Skyguide. Skyguide is responsible for ensuring
the safety of air traffic in Switzerland's airspace. Transoft will
migrate Skyguide's core business applications from a DG MV to a modern
Windows NT environment.
Skyguide has tuned its software, running on a DG MV platform, over a
period of many years to meet its demanding requirements. The DG MV has
now been withdrawn, and Skyguide's migration anticipates that it will
be increasingly difficult to source spares and expertise for this
legacy platform.
Transoft will enable Skyguide to maintain its systems - written in
ADA, Fortran 77, C and Assembler - following the migration, preserving
the knowledge and skills of current IT staff, plus guaranteeing the
essential high availability and security of the system.
The migration work will be spread over a one year period in order to
conduct a high level of testing of the new applications before
implementation in 2004.
"The reliability and sustained accessibility of our system is
obviously vital for what we do. This migration project with Transoft
will remove any future risk associated with the hardware, and maintain
the high level of safety our industry demands."
Joel Jordan, Head of Data Processing Division, Skyguide
